You have given Me The best possible solution which is available while programming by using B4A. I really do not have to use Layout designer. The only one limitation is The object position values. I will try to experiment. What Android routines will do if I will give every object The same position values? If I will occur severe crash of Android system UI or no. Sure, system will not be very happy because of my programmers behaviour with object position values, but I Am being forced to use this strategy. Because my brain is not smart enough to develop automated object positioning on The screen according to The font name, letters syze and theme used. It is possible in The computer world, sure on Windows inside C source code of Autohotkey. But mathematical routines would had to be changed according to screen proportions of Android device. But thanks to autohotkey developers I know, that it is really possible to develop fully automated object position calculations, which produces readable may be not so estetically nice GUI, but it is good. But using those routines to [B4X] would be may be too complex or even impossible. Majority of B4A respect its visual form, so developing such complex routines would be project for 1 or less percentage of B4A users. So I will experiment with numbers what will happen. Fortunately for Me, I have older phone which contain accessible cover so I can remove battery in case of severe Android crash, but I do not anticipate such situation. When I have used Free Pascal compiler, when I have directly called Android API functions to create GUI objects, I have even tried to simply ignore object position values at all. GUI have been not very nice, it was ugly for sighted, but letters were not overlapped. Sure, for example, texts of buttons have been too far from each others. But some internal algorithms of Android are doing something to display at least A little readable GUI.
And also if somebody would not use B4X pages. And if somebody would want to create GUi elements without layout designer. Is it possible or it is really only possible only by using B4X pages for now? If is it possible even without 4X page, please send a .bas file as a example. Now I can add objects by using layout designer, but I AM helpless to add their textual descriptions. And because .bal files are something like .exe files, I can not simply only change text descriptions of previously created objects. If I would do that, even if I use reliable binary editor, I will always get out of system memory message when compiling project from IDE. .bal files have not been developed to simply change them outside layout designer. Really, I would never intrude members of this forum about this issue.
So I have tried to create 45 editable fields. I have only tried to add two hints texts, other hint texts have been empty. I have observed very interesting programmers effect. Screen reader and Android 4.1.2 routines to get object tree from GUI have not allowed Me to switch between editable fields from The first to The last one. First editable box have not been really The first according to The order inside The source code. I have even tried to slightly change DIP values for first and second Editable field, but it did not helped. The only one thing which I know is, that if I have created only 2 editable fields, object tree have been correct. So When I have used Talkback gesture swipe right or swipe left, screen reader read really first and second hint of Editable field. As I assume, I have created too many editable fields with hints and this idea is not compatible with GUi related routines. So as I can analyse, I can not create so much editable fields. Idea was. create 45 editable fields with hint texts. If I type correct answer no matter on which editable field number, algorithm should display message by using build in Msgbox command with The right word. But I Am afraid, that I will have to use only one editable field and only ListView with list of words. But how to add more than one item to The one ListView GUI object? I assume, that it should be identical like adding editable fields hints. But I can only hope, that I will be able to add 45 items without problems, that object hiearchy accessible tree for screen reader will not shown randomly organized items.
